The two “elder statesmen” of the competition will face off this weekend in this intriguing match-up between the Pride and the Dolphins.

The oldest player in the competition since coming out of retirement, Petero Civoniceva will face off against Pride winger Semi Tadulala – the Cup’s second oldest player.

Tadulala played his first Cup game in 1998 – and this weekend will suit up for his 100th – having previously played for Townsville, Wests and Norths.

Last weekend, both the Pride and the Dolphins posted contrasting wins with the Pride’s impressive first half over Wynnum proving enough to claim the two points, while Redcliffe fought back from a 16-point deficit to storm home to a 30-28 victory over Burleigh.

The Pride, who will have Cowboys forward Ricky Thorby back from NRL duties, hold a remarkably lop-sided winning record over the Dolphins, enjoying a 12-1 head-to-head advantage.
